A Million Things to Do and Not Enough Time to Do Them!


Night before last, I was working on final line edits for Heart of the Highland Wolf. But before I turned out the lights, I read some more of a book I'm judging in a contest. I still have 4 others and 2 more contests to judge after this.
Are you goal oriented? I am. It makes me tick. :) So I was very nearly done with Heart of the Highland Wolf this morning before work. Only 11 pages to go! argh. I managed to finish it at lunch and send it off! Woohoo!
So I wanted to finish the book I'm reading for the contest tonight also. It's nearly done. Alas, I haven't been able to work on The Highland Wolf in Paradise, but intend to get my word count in this weekend. :)
And I missed doing a blog yesterday. Why? I slept in!
By accident!
And I was TRYING to finish the edits on Heart of the Highland Wolf before work. I don't have to have them done until next week, but I'd rather work on this stuff and get it done early. Because, next, I'll be getting editor notes on Dreaming of the Wolf.
I have never lived by Scarlett O'Hara's philosophy of life. "I'll think about it tomorrow."
Tomorrow comes and the deadlines pile up even more.
It reminds me of a case last night: A boy came into the library needing a library book for school the next day. It's 30 minutes before we close and grandpa doesn't have grandma's card to check out the books. Not only that, but they need to go to another library to get another book so he can have it for school the next day.
I asked the boy when he had been given the school project? A week and a half ago.
I've always tried to get jobs done early, if I can. Because who knows what tomorrow will bring.
What about you? Do you tend to think about it tomorrow? Put off today what you can do tomorrow?
Or take the bull by the horns and get the job done today?
After the week I've had at work though, I feel the bull has run me over a few times and the week is only half through. LOL!
